The Green Earth Institute

The Green Earth Institute is a nonprofit organization established in 2002 to promote nutritional health and environmental sustainability. Using our organic farm as a demonstration and learning center, we grow healthful vegetables in an earth-friendly way and educate about nature, nutrition, and caring for the earth.

On our 60 acre farm located in south Naperville, Illinois, a suburb 35 miles west of downtown Chicago, we grow over 40 crops of nutritious, delicious organic vegetables, and sell them through our community-supported agriculture (CSA) program. For children we offer gardening and nature appreciation programs, and for adults we offer information and instruction about nutrition and environmentally sustainable practices for home, yard, and garden.

Really good food—there's just no substitute.
Do it for yourself...do it for your family.
It's never too late to start eating better!

2017 CSA Shares Now Available!

Sign up for a share of the fresh, nutritious, locally-grown, certified organic vegetables we grow at our farm in Naperville. Shares are now available for the 20-week Main Season (harvest runs from June 13 to October 27), the 4-week Spring Season (May 16 to June 7), and the 4-week Late Fall Season (October 31 to November 22).

Besides the farm, CSA vegetable pickup is available in Lombard, Western Springs, and Winfield.

The weather is changing and we are starting to put the farm to bed for the winter. But make plans for your group to visit our organic farm in the Spring. Tour the fields and facilities, and do some fun educational activities in the Children's Garden. Contact the Education Director at 630-664-5859 or Education@GreenEarthInstitute.org.
